The obvious way of tackling a problem very seldom turns out to have been the right way. It is true that the human mind does respond to facts and figures, but it needs more than bald statements to stimulate the imagination and to generate an emotional response.

The brazil-swiss artist Orlando Geremia Schüpbach stops at Brasilea Foundation, to transform an entire floor into an authentic favela. It fits perfectly into the concept of the young institution in Basel's port.

For the first time the Brasilea Foundation will show a retrospective of the very well known brazilian artist Carlos Bracher.
After exhibitions in Moscow, Bruges, Luxembourg, Düsseldorf and Frankfurt it's at the same time the very first one in the countrey of his ancestors.

The Brasilea Foundation has the pleasure of inviting you and your friends to the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 18 pm, Caipirinha and brazilian snacks!
Manfredo de Souzanetto is present.

The concept of the presented exhibition Brazilian coevals is based on a contrasting juxtaposition of two art collections. Firstly, the original one, which was purchased by the founder Walter Wüthrich and contains a selection of his personal collectibles as in particular the paintings of Franz Josef Widmar. Secondly, a compilation of contemporary art, that could be acquired within the last decade.

From 21 January until 3 March, the Brasilea Foundation will be presenting works by the Brazilian artist Claudia Jaguaribe. Born in Rio de Janeiro and resident in São Paulo since the 1990s, her works have been shaped by the influences of the urban metropolises on the rural environment. Heavily influenced by the current socio-political issues of our era, the dichotomy between urbanity and nature is reflected in her works.

The exhibition "Bale brut et les Jeux Olympiques" is a joint project of the Brasilea Foundation and the Creative Workshop Bürgerspital Basel which takes place on the occasion of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Artists from the Creative Workshop in Basel will present drawings, paintings, objects and sculptures that have emerged from their month-long intensive focus on Brazil.
The supervised work in the Creative Workshop offers artists the opportunity to develop their artistic language continuously and enables them to realize their potentials freely and without interference according to their individual talents.
Their genuine creations give an imaginative impulse in the context of contemporary art.

We are delighted to inform you about the first traveling exhibition of Brasilea.
The exhibition IMAGO by Boris Kossoy is shown from 12 to 27.05.2016 in the Palazzo Pamphili. Gallery Candido Portinari | Piazza Navona 10 | Rome.

This exhibition of Saint Clair Cemin offers a panorama of works, original and multiple sculptures from 1995 to 2012 as well as some drawings that will allow the public to travel with this limitless artist.

On 22 September 2016, the Brasilea Foundation opens the exhibition of the Brazilian artist "Armarinhos Teixeira" who was born and raised in São Paulo. His art is deeply rooted and characterized by this huge metropolis; He is a true child of his everyday surroundings amid the construction industry and he uses raw materials from industrial production, such as nylon, leather cords, steel cords and polyester.

The Brasilea Foundation exhibits works by the Brazilian artist Christina Oiticica from 26 January to 16 March 2017. Christina Oiticica is known worldwide for her eco art works. Canvases painted with acrylic paints find their completion not until they have been exposed to nature. Most of the works remain left to natural forces for a specific while, often dug in and dug out by the artist herself with bare hands. The result is always a surprise. To take the work back from nature again is always a happening and associated with great emotions for Christina Oiticica.
